Standing by their man: These LGBTQ Trump supporters are still in his corner

LGBTQ Trump supporters may seem like unicorns, but they do exist.

In fact, according to exit polling, 14 percent of our community voted for him in the 2016 election. While that number is down from what the GOP managed to take in previous presidential elections, where they managed to absorb between the low to high 20 percent range, it still represents a not so insignificant number of people.

Speaking with several LGBTQ individuals who maintain support for President Trump, as we hit the first 100 days in office benchmark, a few things became clear.

For one, they know they baffle many of you, and being both openly LGBTQ and a Trump backer can be a difficult stance to maintain.

For some, that conflict has been more pronounced than for others. Arguably, it hit hardest this election season for Dewey Lainhart and his partner at the time, Cody Moore. An interview for The Wall Street Journal with the pair at a Trump rally in Cincinnati went viral, resulting in a barrage of insults and even death threats....

This “Trump hates LGBTQ” stuff ticks me off no end. There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE at all, and never has been, that he is opposed to these people. As a builder, he has hired and worked with HUNDREDS of gay people on his buildings. This is completely spurious, with the only rationale being people on the Left who say he is anti-gay “because we say so.”

If kgbtqgrfaq folks put any effort into thinking they’d realize that Islam is a far more serious threat to them than Christianity or the even softer “western values.”

But they hate the Bible so much it seems to sort of blind them to this reality.

Anyway we’re I them I’d support Trump just to resist Islam but that’s just me.

McCain and Romney got about 20% of the vote from 2% of the population. Poor President Trump only got 14% of the vote from the same 2% of the population. I cannot imagine how Trump managed to win despite that drop in support from a key demographic.

Trump got more Hispanic and white votes than the POW and the Bishop.

Busy spinning for the LGBTQXYZwhatever cause as usual ehh Jenny/jimmuh/whatever.

The opinion of Trump or any other temporal ruler is largely irrelevant in the context of a culture that worships itself and abominates nature.

Natural Law will prevail as it always has.

Got due penalty?

What’s the due penalty for perversion articulated by Romans chapter 1?

Uh, I was commenting about the Left’s never-ending attempts to smear Donald Trump as some kind of intolerant bigot, not about penalties for perversion. You’re on your own there.

Nah, you were just going through another one of your lame iterative attempts to normalize the homosexual agenda.

Why is it you’re utterly unable to articulate the due penalties associated with the abomination of nature favored by Ivanka and Jawad LGBTQXYWHATEVER peers?
